Xiao Xian nodded slightly, and the guard put Little Li Zi down.
Little Leo was seriously injured. He was just holding on to his last breath just now, but now he is very weak.
Qu Li took out the best medicine from the space and fed him some spiritual spring water. After having the guards bandage him briefly, he said, "Spaceship, Wi-Fi, Coke, Sprite, fried chicken and pizza."
Little Leo raised his eyelids, his face full of confusion.
Qu Li kept staring at him, not wanting to miss any expression on his face.
"Princess, what are you talking about?"
At first, Qu Li thought that Leo knew about white phosphorus, and maybe he was a time traveler like her.
After trying it out, she was somewhat disappointed.
"Nothing." Qu Li smiled faintly.
Little Leo had met Qu Li once before. At that time, she was vulgar and hard to describe.
However, today, even though she is in a dirty and smelly death cell, she is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off her.
"How did you know about white phosphorus?"
Since the other party is not a time traveler, he must be very wise.
She lacks useful people around her now. If Leo is really a righteous and capable person, she doesn't mind him being a eunuch.
Little Leo pursed his lips into a line and didn't say anything for a long time.
Qu Li did not urge him, but waited patiently for him to speak.
"Princess, can I trust you?"
"I don't know what your definition of trust is! In my mind, trust is mutual! It's a kind of intuition! It's like I believe you are a capable and knowledgeable person, and everything you show is just to attract our attention. So, I came here as you wished."
Little Leo's mouth was wide open, and his eyes were full of shock.
Qu Li continued: "You would be willing to tell me your story, right?"
After she asked the question, Leo didn't speak for a long time.
"If you don't want to tell me, you can tell me after you recover from your injury! However, you may have to stay here to recuperate during this period of time." After saying that, Qu Li stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute!" As she reached the door of the torture chamber, Little Leo called her.
"Are you willing to talk?" Qu Li turned around, his eyes calm.
"The princess is truly extraordinary! Even with threats and inducements, she's not offensive at all." Little Li propped himself up and sat up. "My real name is Li Deyi, and I'm the son of Li Jinhe, the magistrate of Jiangzhou County."
Qu Li frowned, "Son of Li Jinhe, has your father committed a crime?"
"My father is devoted to the people. Three years ago, Jiangzhou was hit by a severe drought. He ran all over the place, trying to persuade the prefect, Meng Changqing, to open the granaries and release grain. But Meng Changqing refused, lying that the imperial relief grain hadn't been delivered! My father didn't believe it, so he sent me to investigate secretly."
The fire of anger burned in Leo's eyes, and his fists were clenched tightly.
Qu Li pondered for a moment and wanted to call Xiao Xian in, but was stopped by Xiao Lizi.
"Princess, I don't trust Prince Chen!"
"If you don't trust him, why do you keep trying to get his attention?"
"It's just the next best thing!"
He always thought that the Fourth Prince Xiao Rui was well-known and could help him, but after getting drunk, he became mean and narrow-minded!
Now that he has someone he trusts more, there is no need to attract Xiao Xian's attention.
"You must know that I am only a woman, and women cannot participate in politics! Even if you tell me all this, if you want to clear your father's name, Prince Chen must be involved."
"The fact that she was able to design the academy built by the Marquis of Yongshun proves that the princess is no ordinary woman!"
"Thank you for the compliment! But even if I build the academy, I still can't participate in politics!"
This matter cannot avoid Xiao Xian.
Thinking that I should tell him again, I might as well let Xiao Xian listen together.
Little Li said self-deprecatingly, "Princess, they say that Meng Changqing is backed by a powerful figure in the capital. Do you think Prince Chen can trust them?"
"I believe that only a man who can serve the country and the people and lead troops into battle when he was only a teenager can clear your father's name!" Qu Li expressed his thoughts very objectively.
The entire torture room was unusually quiet. Suddenly, a miserable scream came from the torture room next door.
Qu Li walked out quickly, "What happened?"
"Reporting to the princess, Fugui is dead!"
"Dead?"
Qu Li asked the guards to protect Xiao Lizi, and she went to the torture room next door.
Just as he was about to step forward, he was stopped by Xiao Xian.
"The coroner will be here soon! It's too dirty."
"The coroner may not be as quick as me! I'm more observant."
Xiao Xian: “…”
What she said did make sense, but he still felt uncomfortable when he thought that her hands would touch wealth and honor during the autopsy, even if he was just a eunuch.
Qu Li naturally had no idea of the twists and turns in his mind, so he walked up to Fugui and observed him carefully.
"Were there guards here just now?"
Xiao Xian collected his chaotic thoughts and asked, "Did you find anything?"
"With guards on guard, no matter how advanced the opponent's martial arts skills are, it is impossible for him to remain undetected."
After all, Xiao Xian has been outside all the time. A true martial arts master would definitely notice even a needle falling on the ground.
Therefore, she felt that Fugui’s death could not have been caused by someone sneaking into the death row.
"I was outside just now and didn't find anything unusual."
Qu Li nodded, took off the handkerchief, pinched Fugui's chin, and observed carefully.
"His face was dark blue, his lips were black, and he obviously died of poisoning."
"Did he bite the poison sac himself?"
